Sub Technical Representative ; Shiftwork Weekends

What You Will Do

The Subcontract Technical Representative (STR) 3 is responsible for managing construction, maintenance, or site services subcontracts from conception to closeout for the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Implementation follows Acquisition Services Management Division and Maintenance and Site Services Division policies, overseeing performance in accordance with DOE, Laboratory, and site‑specific requirements. Mentors STRs 1 & 2 in subcontract management and provides support to more experienced STRs for Laboratory subcontracts.

The STR is the point of contact for all technical aspects of moderate or high‑hazard work and oversees subcontractor performance on safety, security, and quality. The STR does not authorize commitments on behalf of LANL or alter subcontract terms, but ensures subcontractor adherence, prevents failure, reduces misdirection, and provides guidance to avoid rework and compliance risk. STRs work closely with contractor project managers to support successful contract execution.

STRs must be willing and able to work flexible schedules. Assignments may require evening, night shift, and shifts outside the normal 6:00 AM–5:30 PM workday for substantial and indefinite periods.
